The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

It's worth noting when the system works. The last week of tornadoes and torrential rains led to at least 21 deaths and widespread damage. But the human toll could have been far worse without an NWS already under immense stress.
